Backburner / Shotgun / Homewrecker for me please

I've had 'competitive' types slag me for choosing Pyro and look at my score as justification. They seem to ignore the strategic value of a lunatic who's willing to do suicide runs into the other team to throw them off balance and make it impossible for them to mount an organized comeback. Though I'm bothered by the fact that I don't have the million points of fire damage achievement yet (nor does it track progress in my Steam profile).

Reason I don't play Scout is that there are ALWAYS a bunch of scouts already, and I freaking HATE getting backstabbed by some cocky spy shmuck hahaha.

I also just added you to my Steam list as well, my account is under the name f*ckdrm if you're not smart enough to figure out what letter to replace that asterisk with, then you're not worthy of being on my list haha (display name is Panbient with the same bloated zombie panda avatar).

Sacrifice (video game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Actually is quite awesome. Takes a bit to get the hang of, though.

Would downloading a Rom of the game be illegal? I've heard from someone that it's just a perfectly legal way of getting handheld games onto your PC for playing, but I'm not fully confident in that source.

Well, I think the laws have changed a bit. But, if memory serves, owning a rom is completely legal if you own a copy of the game. Plus, emulators are 100% legal.

LoathsomePete - I boughty my sister Machinarium a while back, it was like 8$ in a cool metal can, and she loved it. Some of the puzzles though ... oy vey

And the minigame that lets you see the hints is atrocious.

As for what I'm playing: BF3 Back to Karakand, it seems I'm getting some of my old skill back, which is good. I'm also during the last Vice case in L.A. Noire, all that's left is the arson division. Great game btw.

Just finished Limbo...

THE most drawn out ending ever.

Cool I just added you. NICE! You have Shogun2

I tried playing a couple of rounds of TF2 with RVCA the other night but I'm on the East Coast and he was in a West Coast server so I had double my 'normal' ping.

As for the comment about Sacrifice being a hidden gem. I can see it having that reputation now, but it got a lot of hype back in the day when it came out. Problem was virtually no one had the hardware necessary to run it smoothly at the time

I REALLY wanted to play past the first few areas...

watched my brother playing Arkham City this morning

it's still a beat-'em up? meh....

And Minecraft (if only it didn't take my friend a week to reboot his server after it crashes

)

dude, they are literally my two favorite games. I'm best with Pyro too, but Demoman and Scout are my two backups as well, just anyone who could f*ck sh*t up.

The one class I'm not really into at all is the Heavy. I mean, i know he's the strongest and all, but I just can't get over how slow he is. I usually like to get right into the battle and start cracking skulls, and I feel so limited with his movement. :/

here's my Steam profile if anyone wants to add me as well

The most effective scouts also have to be really twitchy, random and jumping all over the place, which is disconcerting when you're first starting out.

I wouldn't necessarily say you shouldn't go head on with other classes as a Scout. Not to brag, but as a Scout i've taken out full on Heavys and other classes as well. I'd say it depends on your Loadout and how much skill you have with the class.

You're right about being very twitchy and all over the place, though. It serves as a great distraction for the opposing side and if you're able to get a few shots off, you could take out crucial members of the team.
